Emotions drift like autumn leaves,
whispering secrets to the breeze.
They knock, they dance, they fade away,
never meant to truly stay.
Joy arrives with golden light,
laughing, warm, and feather-light.
Then sorrow creeps through midnight doors,
weeping waves upon our shores.
Anger flares, a fleeting spark,
burning bright but never stark.
Love, though, hums a deeper tune,
a steady glow beneath the moon.
A heart may quake, a mind may roam,
yet bonds we forge become our home.
So let the tempests rise and cease—
connection stays, the soul’s own peace.

In the heart of Zurich, where forgotten fabrics whisper tales of yesterday, Rachelle Nkou’s INSIDE – upcycling couture breathes new life into the discarded.
From vintage finds and deadstock treasures, she crafts unique pieces, transforming what once was lost into wearable art.
Experience this rebirth at Molokai Schmuck, Grüngasse 7 in Zürich
from February 7 to March 7, 2025.
